In this video, Janet Colley, BC-HIS, talks about what is hearing test word recognition. When you go in for a hearing test, it's important to have your speech word recognition ability tested as well.

A lot of people come into HG and say, "it sounds like people are mumbling." If you're able to hear people but not understand the words they're saying or if you have to turn the TV louder and louder to understand the words, that could be a word recognition problem.

The longer someone goes without hearing, the ability to understand diminishes. A lot of people don't realize that as your word recognition score falls, that's what we have to live with. It probably can't be brought up from where it is, but it is possible to keep it where it is and keep it from getting worse. And that's why it's SO important to have your hearing tested!
